Billing and account research from public material
Provider-specific research notes are displayed separately from fields that contain only an unavailable-information marker. Read qualifiers in each note and verify current account terms with the provider.
- Billing frequency
- Monthly; the portal explains monthly billing and the district adds a $16.50 trash-collection charge to each account beginning in 2024.
- Rate structure
- Increasing commodity tiers plus a monthly readiness-to-serve fee by meter size. The most recently published rate schedule is effective July 1, 2025: a 3/4-inch meter has an $8.55 monthly readiness fee; the first 2,000 gallons are a $5.94 minimum, then successive blocks are $2.97, $3.27, $3.47, $3.62, and $3.77 per 1,000 gallons at higher thresholds.
- Residential cost reference
- Using the published 2025 general-customer schedule, a 3/4-inch residential account using 5,000-7,000 gallons would be approximately $8.55 readiness plus $5.94 for the first 2,000 and $2.97 per 1,000 for the next 3,000-5,000 gallons, or about $23.40-$29.34 monthly before trash, taxes, or other charges. Verify 2026 rates because the published schedule is labeled 2025.
- Meter reading
- The portal provides usage history and the district bills monthly, but the reviewed official materials do not identify AMI/AMR technology or a fixed meter-reading/transmission cadence.
- New-account deposit
- The 2024 deposit schedule lists $50.00 for an owner and $75.00 for a tenant, with larger deposits by meter size: $150 for 1-inch, $300 for 1.5-inch, $500 for 2-inch, $750 for 3-inch, and $1,000 for 4-inch meters. New service requires an application, identification, proof of ownership or lease, and deposit; the reviewed material does not state a credit-check waiver or release schedule.
- Activation or transfer fee
- New-service installation charges begin at $825 for a 3/4-inch meter and $1,125 for a 1-inch meter; larger meters are minimum or actual cost. The published schedule also lists a $1.00 office payment-without-bill fee. A separate residential transfer fee was not exposed.
